It's here! The Knit Collage yarn is finally here...

What a lovely day we've had at Halfpenny Home today. This morning we had a bagmaking class with some Halfpenny regulars, Charlotte, Maria, Maria's mum and Isabella the best behaved baby in the whole world - blogpost coming soon ladies! Just before we were due to start there was a knock at the door - it was a parcel from Amy at Knit Collage with these beautiful jacquard ribbons.Along with these gorgeous yarns. The blue one has crocheted flowers in it, brilliant! The yarn pictured is - left - Kinari Bazaar- centre bottom - Stardust Garland - centre top - Mermaid Cafe - right - Cherry Blossom. I can't wait to show everyone it, I love it, we all love it and we all want to knit with it! Nic x

Oh thank you! It was so lovely to see you all! I'm glad you got it finished between feeds and picking up children and it was great to meet your ma today, she's fantastic. I got some great pics of all your bags and will be blogging about them soon, they all looked superb. Thanks again for a really lovely day, Nic x

Mmmm dreamy yarn and ribbon, Miss Nicola. It is simply yummy and makes me think of ice-cream, sunshine, laughter and butterscotch. No I haven't been on the Aspall's, just a very pleasant evening making bunting with Miss Peg who is still quite fragile. We've had an idea, I know that always makes your heart skip a beat... we'll let you know about it when we see you next.

About Me

Nic Gouldsmith started Halfpenny Home in an old soap factory in the small Suffolk town of Needham Market and very quickly became the place to go for hard to find crafting sundries and haberdashery supplies. After just over 4 years in the soap factory HH HQ moved to the dream location on Alder Carr Farm! The new and shiny HH HQ is now housed in an old windmill which for many years was used as a dovecote - the nest boxes are still in place and now are filled with ribbon, fabric and buttons!
With help from a few of Nic's creative friends HH HQ runs a very varied list of fun workshops where you are sure to produce something beautiful and have a lovely time...we also have rather a lot of tea and homemade cakes!
Enjoy reading about everything that happens at Halfpenny Home and there are also some rather pretty photos, please do ask for permission first before reproducing them anywhere - it's always nice to hear about where they will pop up!
